According to imperial custom, when a noble dies, his heir must inherit the title within two weeks.

At that time, the heir should hold a banquet to entertain celebrities and nobles from all walks of life.

The higher the title the heir is about to inherit, the more distinguished the people he can invite.

This is equivalent to the second coming-of-age ceremony for the heir, announcing to the entire aristocratic social circle:

He formally took over the power of his father or brothers and continued to defend the interests of the family in this position.

Faro's father left him the title of Earl. Theoretically, the Grand Duke could be invited to attend, and the party would surely be packed with guests.

And he actually forgot such a big thing!

It's not his fault. In the plot, Faro never inherited the title of earl, so he naturally had no expectations for this dinner.

Yes, this plot doesn’t seem to be in the original work!

Hiss...something's wrong. Something's very wrong!

Farrow smelled a hint of danger.

At this time in the main storyline, he had already been taken back to the imperial capital by Claire to warm her bed, and would not attend the banquet at all, which also led to many important characters not interacting with him.

But now the cause and effect have been reversed, and the one who hosted the banquet was no longer Weide, but him, Faro.

The person that many important characters were going to meet also changed from Weed to Farrow.

This means that he might meet the main characters, and more likely he would meet Claire.

Even if he wouldn't send an invitation to Claire, what if she was interested and came? He couldn't just chase her away.

The threshold for entering the banquet was not that high. As long as you were a noble, you could enter. The invitation letter was just to express the host's special care.

The newly appointed nobles wished that as many people as possible would come, as the guests at the banquet would serve as their own network of contacts in the future.

But Faro doesn't think so. He just wants to live a good life and doesn't want to be a weapon.

Not only that, if we deviate from the main plot of the original work, the future development of events may be unpredictable.

His biggest advantage, the advantage of having read the script, will no longer exist!

Seeing that Faro's brows were furrowed, the maid couldn't help but ask with concern: "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Faro waved his hands to indicate that he was fine, rubbed his temples, and tried his best to calm himself down.

If the advantage of having read the plot no longer exists, then improving one's own abilities becomes even more important.

"Mia, help me get my coat, I need to go out for a while."

"Yes, Lord Count."

Faro left the manor house and went to the northern area of ​​Einburg alone.

He didn't bring any attendants with him because he was going to a place that was not easy to be seen by others.

This is a famous and prosperous commercial district where all kinds of specialties from the entire continent can be bought.

However, secretly, it also has the largest black market in the empire, where cursed weapons, forbidden spells, anything you can think of is sold.

The premise is not to ask where the things come from.

The purpose of Faro's trip was to get a prop from the original plot - the creeping gray fog.

After players obtain this item, they can randomly increase their own attributes and randomly light up a martial arts or magic talent.

Although the props are very powerful, they are hidden very secretly, and novice players basically can't get them. At least they have to play a round before they can find out.

Just then, a loud noise interrupted Faro's thoughts and he looked up.

That was the noise made by people surrounding a prison van, as if they were escorting some prisoners.

Faro was not interested in these things and wanted to speed up and leave, but he accidentally caught a glimpse of the man in the prison car.

Judging from her figure, she is a girl, and her hands and feet are locked with heavy shackles.

The clothes he was wearing looked like something torn out of a torn sack to cover his body, which could not hide the scars at all, and he was barefoot.

But that appearance clearly shows that she is the culprit who will destroy a quarter of the empire's territory in the future, the darkened world-destroying legend - the Deep Witch, Vera.

Chapter 4: Irreversible World Correction Force

If Faro guessed correctly, this was exactly the scene in the CG that introduced the game boss.

Vera was born contaminated by the power of the evil god from outside the domain, which is a very dangerous and uncontrollable deep power.

Anyone who carries pollution will be regarded as a monster or a witch, and everyone will try to avoid them.

In the original work, after Vera was captured by the Night Hunters, she was forced to become a humanoid material for the mages to study the depths, and suffered torture.

The unreasonable violence and inhumane persecution all weighed heavily on this fragile country girl.

Thus, nourished by malice and hatred, the scarlet flower of revenge bloomed in Vera's heart.

Her twisted emotions caused her personality to change drastically, and she gained enormous power at the cost of her life.

Vera broke out of the prison that held her and killed every imperial wizard who had ever hurt her. However, this was not enough. Her hatred was like a huge wave, sweeping across the entire northern part of the empire.

It was eventually classified as a calamity-level disaster by Emperor Kavia himself, the [Witch of the Deep].

The Empire's three conqueror regiments were dispatched to fight against her, and with the help of the protagonist, her life filled with hatred ended.

Just as Faro was looking at her thoughtfully.

The girl happened to look up, and their eyes met.

Those were a pair of haggard and lifeless eyes, as if telling that the girl had become numb to the pain, and her silver-blue hair was as withered as weeds.

Anyone would be horrified by the tragic situation of the girl.

Farlow is no exception.

Even if she will be a pathetic and hateful world-destroying witch in the future, now, she is just a tortured girl.

She noticed Farlow, too.

The young man who met my eyes had a pretty face and was elegantly dressed. He was obviously a young master of some noble family.

And often the nobles of the empire hate their own existence even more.

Those contemptuous or resentful looks had long since numbed her. Her heart had become like a rotten apple, and all that was left was a curse on this world.

Vera even felt like laughing in her heart.

He looks about the same age as me, but he lives a completely different life.

However, he would immediately look at me with disgust, just like everyone else, and then quickly walk away.

The girl laughed at herself secretly.

But unexpectedly, there was no disgust in the purple-haired boy's eyes.

But... mercy?

Vera looked at him in disbelief.

That gentle look contained compassion for the world, and it seemed particularly clear among the hostile eyes of those who looked at her.

why?

Why wasn't he afraid of me like everyone else?

Vera's heart was trembling with doubt.

How long has it been... since she met someone who didn't have bad intentions towards her?

No matter what, a faint trace was left in Vera's heart.

------

The prison van finally drove away.

The ones escorting Vera are the Night Hunters, who specialize in dealing with unusual incidents caused by pollution from outside domains. The protagonist Feng Aotian is also a member of this organization.

In order to effectively deal with unknown threats within the empire, the emperor gave hunters great power.

As long as it is for the purpose of investigating foreign pollution, they can override general laws, and even the life and death of ordinary criminals is up to them at a whim.

If we can rescue Vera from this hellish place before she turns evil, then we can avoid the birth of the Witch of the Deep.

Not only can you avoid the disasters brought by the Witch of the Deep, but you can also have one more person to help you when the end is shattered.

But the question is, how to rescue her?

Faro walked and thought.

Before we knew it, we had arrived at our destination, the black market, but what came into view was a dilapidated slum scene.

The streets were narrow and dirty, with many puddles on the ground, and crowded with people in all kinds of work clothes.

He walked a little further and saw an inconspicuous pawnshop.

The eaves are very low and you need to bend down to go in.

The boss didn't even stand up to greet someone when he heard them coming, but just lazily asked, "What do you want to order?"

Faro said the corresponding code for the black market.

After hearing this, the boss immediately put away his lazy image.

He pushed open the secret door and said, "Come in."

Only after passing through the secret door can you truly enter the black market.

The streets are spacious, bright and spotless, and the buildings demonstrate the unique beauty of the empire, not much different from the city center of Einburgh.

This is the underground world of Einburg, which follows different rules from those on the ground, so anything can circulate here.

People on earth have no right to interfere.

"Young Master, would you like some special services? We have both boys and girls available."

"Thank you, but it's not Fury. I'm not interested."

Faro avoided the black market prostitutes with ease. He had no intention of unlocking the CG now and only wanted to get the props.

After a while, Faro walked to an elegantly decorated antique shop.

That’s right!

The proprietress is a person who loves to collect extraordinary items. You can get props by answering questions asked to her.

"Welcome, guest, what would you like to pick~"

"I want the extraordinary item you recently collected."

The proprietress's eyebrows twitched slightly, "Sir, may I know that I don't intend to sell this thing."

"Come on."

"This item is related to the pollution in the outer domain. The hunters have been tracking it down. You don't dare to sell it because you don't have a reliable channel to sell it."

The proprietress was speechless and finally sold it to Faro.

[Creeping Gray Fog] was contained in a small bottle, and the chaotic fog seemed to have life, swirling and twisting inside.

"My dear guest... since you can let go of it, would you like to take a look at other things?"

The proprietress seemed to have discovered a good way to sell her goods and was eager to promote other products.

"No, I'm not interested in anything else..."

Farlow was about to refuse.

But there was a badge among the things the proprietress was selling that caught his attention.

It is the platinum emblem of the Night Hunter.

He was very familiar with this thing. The protagonist Feng Aotian also had it on him. It was the identity proof of the Night Hunter and also a symbol of power.

What's up? How dare you sell this?

You know, reselling the Night Hunter Badge is equivalent to reselling the police's guns in the Blue Star Dynasty.

A light bulb went off in Faro's head, and he suddenly had a bold idea.

This...may be really useful to me.
